Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedMissing authorization vulnerability in GetStmUrlPath webapi component in Synology Surveillance Station before 9.2.0-9289 and 9.2.0-11289 allows remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceA missing authorization vulnerability in the GetStmUrlPath webapi component of Synology Surveillance Station allows authenticated users to access sensitive information they are not authorized to view, without proper authorization checks on specific API calls.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check installed Synology Surveillance Station versionAccess the Surveillance Station web interface, go to Help > About, or check the version via the package center in Synology DSM. The version number is displayed as something like 9.x.x-xxxx.Affected if The version is lower than 9.2.0-9289 or lower than 9.2.0-11289 (for 9.2.0 builds)
-
Verify the GetStmUrlPath API endpoint is accessibleMake an authenticated API request to the GetStmUrlPath endpoint via the Surveillance Station webapi. This is typically accessed at /webapi/SurveillanceStation/api and includes the GetStmUrlPath method.Affected if The API endpoint responds to authenticated requests without returning an authorization error
-
Confirm the installation is vulnerable based on versionCompare your installed version number against the affected ranges: any version below 9.2.0-9289 (for builds before 9.2.0) or below 9.2.0-11289 (for the 9.2.0 branch) is within the vulnerable range.Affected if The installed version falls below both 9.2.0-9289 and 9.2.0-11289 thresholds
You are affected if your Synology Surveillance Station version is below 9.2.0-9289 or below 9.2.0-11289, and the GetStmUrlPath API is accessible to authenticated users without proper authorization enforcement.

Apply the vendor patch by updating Synology Surveillance Station to version 9.2.0-9289 (or later 9.x versions) or 9.2.0-11289 to remediate the missing authorization check in the GetStmUrlPath component.
9.2.0-9289 or 9.2.0-11289 (depending on your current version branch)
- 1. Check current Synology Surveillance Station version in DSM > Package Center > Surveillance Station
- 2. Determine which version branch you are on (9.2.0-9289 or 9.2.0-11289) based on your current version
- 3. Go to DSM > Package Center > Surveillance Station > Update
- 4. Update to version 9.2.0-9289 or higher, or 9.2.0-11289 or higher (whichever applies to your current version branch)
- 5. Verify the update was successful by checking the version in Package Center
